Question by : Do you feel this is as unethical as I do?
http://www.turningpointcounseling.org/dr-kevin-downing.html
I personally have been to Kevin Downing office for MFT counseling on several occasions. After what I felt were a little too off beat comments about my sexuality and my relationship with God and the love of my life. The innuendos he exhibited seemed to be a nonstandard form of therapy. They certainly made me and my spouse a little uncomfortable. But his comments about her figure and being sexually attractive were just a little over the top on patient doctor relationship. Especially since we were not there for sexual difficulties in our relationship. After that incident, I thought that I would go back and check a little deeper on his qualifications, professionalism and credentials. Here is my first person experience and effort put into finding the answers to.

Question by cam1126: People, Why do you suggest marriage counseling in abuse cases?…?
In order for counseling to be effective, BOTH parties have to go and have to WANT to change. Just like alcoholism. In 99 percent of the cases you give “counseling” as an answer, it will be wasted money. Sorry, that is just the way it works. However, if you can get him(or her) to agree to really try and change then by all means go to counseling. But in cases of abuse it will not work. Your best bet is to clean out the bank account and GET AWAY FAST!! Good Luck!

Question by dmh1973: what is the secret to a happy and successful marriage?
I am a 34 yo female w/ one daughter. my bf is 36 and also has a daughter. we’ve been together off and on for almost 8 years. we are considering getting married, but the thought scares me half to death. i’ve never been married but he has (once). we’ve been going to couples counseling to try to work out some issues we’ve had, but the counselor doesn’t seem to think we need counseling and is trying to get us to set a date for marriage. i am feeling a little pressured by this and i guess i am trying to find out from anyone what the secret to a happy and successful marriage is. also, what is the difference between “couples counseling” and “pre-marital counseling.” should we do pre-marital counseling even though our counselor doesn’t seem to think we need any counseling? thanks for your input.
